Exploring the ever-changing relationships among living things
Assistant Professor Minoru Kasada studies how changes in the relationships among organisms affect their abundance and diversity.
Interactions among organisms (biotic interactions) are constantly changing with time and circumstances.
Humans are regarded as one species among living things, and the research also considers how people and other organisms can coexist and prosper together under limited resources.
Assistant Professor Kasada is affiliated with the Uryu Research Forest of the Field Science Center for Northern Biosphere.
Key terms
- Biotic interactions
- Relationships in which organisms influence one another, such as eating and being eaten or helping each other
- Community dynamics
- How an assemblage of multiple species living in the same place changes over time
ResearchResearch themes
The research themes are dynamic biotic interactions and community dynamics, coexistence and mutual prosperity of humans and other organisms, and the analysis of ecological data.
